Twenty-eight UNSW PhD candidates have been awarded a Dean’s Award for Outstanding PhD Theses.
The Dean’s Award for Outstanding PhD Theses recognises high quality PhD theses produced at UNSW.
To receive this award, candidates must produce a thesis that requires only minimal corrections, received outstanding and/or excellent levels of achievement for all examination criteria, and in the opinion of both examiners is in the top ten percent of PhD theses they have examined. Examiners are external to the University and are leaders in their fields.
“UNSW’s PhD candidates are a vital part of our research efforts and these awards recognise the outstanding theses examined in the last year,” said Professor Jonathan Morris, Pro Vice-Chancellor Research Training & Entrepreneurship and Dean of Graduate Research.
“Given the challenges of the past two years, these graduates should be commended for their achievements.”
The awards are listed below by Faculty. Further details about this award have been published on the HDR Hub.
